Just had a massive boiling and popping session. I had about six or seven figures boiled and popped down to over 30 parts and sat down to make some customs. This is what I came up with, I've still got to add a few more things, find heads, and of course paint them:

Wow! the boil and pop guys are looking pretty good so far. I cant wait to see what they look like completed. I like the color scheme on the Mandalorian. But I think the fact that its a POTF2 figure takes away from it a little. That scheme would rock on a better articulated Fett, like a VOTC, or one of the new Saga figs. I know both are as rare as a hens tooth though. Good work none the less.

Thank you Ennis. I'm sorry that I had to use the POTF2 figure, too. I had just bought a few on Rebelscum for 2 bucks each so I figured I'd paint them to see how it came out. I might have to get some of the newer Fetts and use the scheme on them. Also Thanks on the compliment about the boil and pop army. I just trimmed down the clone arms a bit and they are attached to the body now. Does he (the jedi in the first pic) Look good the way he is, or should I repaint some?

Great WIP pics. I love seeing those. All of these look great, especially the female Jedi bodies.

One thing I'd suggest, is that the Testors paint seems kind of shiny (or is it just me?) - I'd try using the cheap Walmart acrylic paints. They're so cheap, but really seem to work well. At least for me they do, and then do a quick matte acrylic spray.

Thank you to both of you. Chewie - The cheap Walmart paints actually are Testors at my Walmart. And no it's not just you, I was using both gloss and flat colors and hadn't dullcoated the figure until after that picture. I'm taking new pics of them in the light outside in the morning.

Clone Hunter - Thanks for the compliment, I didn't know if I did the weathering bad or not on the 501st. As for the "blue shocktroopers", they aren't really shocktroopers. I took a plain clone picture, sat down, and came up with my own armor design. It looks sort of like a Shockie, but not completely.
